Letting Go now on Amazon, ARe, etc.

Just a quick note that Letting Go is now available through other book distributors, including Amazon, AllRomance eBooks, and Fictionwise.

Also, this may be incredibly lame, but can I just say that there is something incredibly awesome about seeing your name on Amazon? Seriously. All kinds of warm fuzzies over here!

Review Round-up for Letting Go

 

A few lovely people have had some lovely things to say about Letting Go.

So You Think You Can Write

Jeanette Grey is a truly gifted writer that tells a heartfelt story of love and loss and does it in a way that we can all relate to. There’s no quick roll in the hay or a love-at-first-sight encounter here. What Letting Go is is a story of love and its many different facets and when you truly look at it, you find that love, in all it’s wonderful phases, fills your heart like pieces of a puzzle, making you feel complete no matter what the circumstances in life are currently throwing your way.

Brief Encounters

Overall, I came away from this story with a positive feeling for the two men. David goes through a lot in terms of emotion in the story, but it ends well for him and as such I was happy. This story would appeal to those looking for a slightly angsty read with an engaging hero and I would recommend it.

Music To Write To: Numbness, Death and Despair

My favorite descriptions of the writing process are those that liken it to method-acting. When I'm writing a character, I need to get in his head – be where he is, think how he thinks, feel what he feels. And a huge piece of that, for me, is setting the right mood with music.

So this is the beginning of an occasional series. Just a quick playlist with some of my favorite selections to help me get into a certain mood. And what better place to start than with Death and Despair?

I threw this list together when I was writing a particularly grey scene in my novella Letting Go. The character was absolutely numb with grief, so these aren’t my blackest of black songs. They're more ... grey.

1. God Is In the Roses – Rosanne Cash
2. Find the River – R.E.M.
3. Washing of the Water – Peter Gabriel
4. Are We There Yet – Ingrid Michaelson
5. Recycled Air – Postal Service
6. Stars – The Weepies
7. Never Think – Robert Pattinson (go ahead and laugh, it's okay.)
8. I Was Watching You – Rosanne Cash
9. Evaporated – Ben Folds
10. Stolen Car – Patty Griffin
11. How You Survived the War – The Weepies
12. Secret World – Peter Gabriel

Have you seen me lately?

I'm currently listening to the Counting Crows and trying to decide how to start this blog. In the end, I'm just diving in.

Because dude, there is a lot of exciting stuff going on right now.

My first novella, a M/M romance called Letting Go, is slated to be released from Dreamspinner Press in June. It's a story about grief, family, priorities and opening yourself up to love.

In addition, I just got my signed contract back from my next novella, Unacceptable Risk, which will be released by Samhain Press in Winter 2011. It's a M/F cyberpunk romance story, complete with a self-sacrificing heroine, a patient but lonely hero, shadowy corporations, cybernetics and lots of tech. I can't wait to share it with you!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the new blog. I'm hoping to share news about my writing and maybe some snippets of what I've been working on when I can.

Until next time,

XOXO
